Today I've been doing a lot of soul searching and thinking, and I've definitely taken a big look at my past and some of the mistakes and good decisions I've made. It's good to do that sometimes(but not all the time) because it allows you to access and learn from your failures and life decisions. One of the good decisions I've made was from using affirmations. Nobody even gives affirmations a chance or even acknowledges them, when in fact they are the most useful thing do daily for yourself! Here's why.

There's a big difference from telling yourself that you are trash, and telling yourself your worth something. There are tons of people that are subconsciously telling themselves that they are trash. Where do you think they are going? Are they taking action to change their life? Or are they just sitting around accepting that their trash. Chances are their stuck in the nasty habit of calling themselves trash. It's a very sad thing, because we are all human, and capable of being something great.

Good news! They can all change! I am living proof. All my life naysayers have been telling me I wouldn't amount to anything. That I couldn't become an EMT. I ending up being valedictorian of EMT school, and every job I've had, I have risen to the top, and everyone loved how I worked. I have accomplished so many things. That's because I decided to keep telling myself I was worth something instead of bending to the naysayers opinions. Opinions are dime a dozen, but they way you feel about yourself is worth the quality of your life.

So there you go. It's not that complicated. I know many self help books try to make it more complicated than it really is, but it doesn't need to be like that. Obviously there's more to it, but for now that's all you really need to know. The days that I kept telling myself I was worth more than what my naysayers said, my self confidence gradually sky rocket to the top, and the quality of my work went way up. I was more enthusiastic, and life was bliss. Now a days I don't use affirmations too much, but after soul searching, I will affirm to myself daily, and take daily action to make my one life everything I've ever wanted it to be. I am confident that it will work for me. I'm also very confident it will work for you, that's why i'm telling you guys about this not so commonly known therapeutic strategy. It's potent so go out and make your life! Don't let others make it for you.
